ALONG FOR THE RIDE

chapter 1

"...and I would again like to congratulate you young achievers for successfully passing your training. You may now receive your badges as full agents."

As the headmaster of the FBI Academy finished his speech, the 115 graduates threw their tasseled hats off into the air and celebrated. Everyone headed out the door to the waiting arms of their parents. All except two. And they happened to be the only two agents to ever graduate from the FBIA at age 14.

"I can't believe we actually lived through the training!" Alexandra, who was one of the two, said, dramatically sighing as she ran her hand through her short, curly blonde hair.

"Well, I know I couldn't have endured the torture without someone to endure it with me!" the other girl said, who was named Jessica. She let her shoulder-length black hair out of it's bun.

"How 'bout we go out for pizza?" Alex asked.

"I was thinking somewhere along the lines of an expensive French restaurant, but since you're paying, I'll let you decide." Jessie smirked, laughing at the look of mock anger on her best friend's face.

"Gee, that's awful sweet of you." Alex retorted.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

at the pizzeria:

"We spent all summer in hot and sweaty barracks to learn how to properly hold five terrorists at gunpoint, only to head back to school the next week!" fumed Alex.

"Calm down, Agent 100456, you need to keep your profile down. We somehow have to keep this a secret from the school. Plus, these badges are worth having no Summer Break. We've been going to the academy every summer for four years, plus the intensive training camp in Winter and Spring Break. Now we get to have every vacation without having to worry about going back to that." Jessie explained calmly, taking a drink of her Coke.

Alex sighed."You are right, Agent 100472. At least we are done, and our work, sweat, and blood pays off. Now we just have to find some really cute boyfriends"

As if on queue, five boys walked into the tiny pizza shop and sat in the booth facing Jessie.

"Oh my God, Alex! Turn around and tell me what you see..." Jessie whispered to her friend.

Alex turned to look, then faced Jessie." I see five gorgeous young men, around the age of I think...15. These guys would probably make very decent significant-others."

Alex decided to move to the other side of the booth next to Jessie, so she could continue staring at them. Jessie attempted to interpret what they were saying, since she got the better grade in lip-reading class at the academy.

~*~*~*~*~*~

the next booth over:

"Anybody else notice those two girls that keep staring at us?" Heero asked.

"I do." Duo replied, as he locked eyes with the blonde and waved at her. He noticed her blush and wave back. The girl with dark black hair glared at her and pulled her arm down.

~*~*~*~*~*~

the girl's booth:

"Why did you do that! He was waving at me!" Alex whispered.

"Don't you remember what the professors told you?! Don't trust anybody!" Jessie glared back.

" I wasn't trusting them! All I did was wave at the really cute guy with the long braid. Lighten up." Her friend just gave her a well-I'll-let-you-slide-this-one-time-but-don't-do-it-again look. Her nose turned up as she watched her companion scarf down 3 pieces of pepperoni pizza while she was still picking the pepperonis off of her own first piece.

"Do you have any updates about that project that we are working on?" Jessie said to her friend, who was now on her forth slice.

"mmph. Yeah. Ya know the pilots that we are supposed to team up with at school

for another project, right?" Alex replied.

"Yeah. What about them?" Jessie asked.

"Well, we are scheduled to meet them in front of the dorm entrance at school on the first day, right after the welcoming dinner." Alex said.

"Gotcha. That's the day after tomorrow. Are you done yet? We need to head back to the apartment to get our "duffel bags".{a/n: they had already moved their other stuff into the dorm room}

"Yeah. I'm finished. Let's get the bill and head home." Alex answered.

~*~*~*~*~*~

at the guy's booth:

" Any news about the undercover agents who are helping with the mission?" Trowa asked.

"Yeah. I got a confirming e-mail for the place and time of our meeting." Wufei replied.

"Alright, let's get back to the safe house. We need to make sure we have everything." Quatre said, laying down enough cash to pay for the food and tip.

~*~*~*~*~*~

at the safe house; Heero's bedroom:

"Heero, where are the agents' portfolios?" Wufei asked.

"Here, on the laptop." he replied.

The five boys crowded around the small screen, Duo reading the info out loud.

"Name, Harnes, Alexandra; age, 14; ethnic, Italian; eye color, blue-green; hair color, blonde; height, 5"1'; agent no.100456.other: contact lenses." he read.

Then Trowa began to read the other girl's profile." Name, Chin, Jessica; age, 14; ethnic, Chinese; eye color, dark brown; hair color, black; height, 5" 2'. other: glasses. Hn."

"This is great! Two girl agents our age!" Duo laughed, but stopped as Heero glared at him. "It's a joke, Heero. You know that you are my one true love."

"Ugh, please, Maxwell. Don't make me sick." Wufei retorted, reaching for the Kleenex box on the nightstand.

Quatre, who had been munching on cheeto puffs, reached under the bed to pick up one he dropped. He pulled out a set of handcuffs, whip, and a tube with gel in it. His eyes went wide, and he sat up straight in bed. Trowa looked at him with concern.

"What is it, Little One?" he asked.

"Nothing. I just found some of Heero's sex toys."Quatre said, knowing that Heero was about to break his nose. With that comment, Wufei and Trowa hopped off of the bed. Quatre joined him, and he and his koibito ran out of the room with Heero and Duo on their tail. Trowa slammed the door just as Heero ran into it.

"What did you see, Quatre?" Duo asked through the door.

"All I saw was handcuffs, lubricant, and a whip. Would you like to borrow some chains, too?" and with that, he broke down into a fit of giggles, with Trowa sitting on the bed smirking at him.

~*~*~*~*~*~

at the Midtown Apartment complex, room 104:

"Are you ready to go?" Alex asked, making sure her laptop was turned off.

"Yep, I'm just gonna miss this place a bit, though." Jessie replied.

"Don't worry, we'll be back next summer." Alex reassured, looking out of their front windows surveying the city of Wahington D.C. The two girls threw theri bags over their shoulders and walked out the door, locking it behind them.

~*~*~*~*~*~

after the welcoming dinner, outside of the dorm house:

"Where the hell are they?" Duo asked, getting agitated.

"Calm down, Duo. They will be here soon. I don't think they wouldn't show up on purpose. Plus, we are kinda early." Quatre reassured his friend."Ok, here they come now!"

"'Bout time!" Duo, muttered.
